I'm using Comcast, and I'm using a Linsys WRT54G2 router. I'm testing a MegaUpload Premium download using jDownloader and it is just staying at 15 or 16kbps. There is clearly a problem there. How can I fix this?

There was an issue with the signal. My signal was at -19 dbmv. You can check this in your diagnostics throu the cable modem, 192.168.100.1. In this situation, you have to call Comcast and get them out here to fix it.

I was able to fix this issue with Comcast by powering my router off for 30 seconds, powering the modem off for 30 seconds, then renewing the IP address (certain routers will let you renew your public IP on demand). This happens to me about once every 6-8 months, according to the the tier 3 tech(which I finally escalated to) The DNS cache needs to be refreshed, he had no permanent fix for me...
